Do you have the control panels for Modem, TCP/IP etc active in "Classic"?
Although Classic doesn't use them to actually connect anymore, some older
apps need to locate these before they "see" a connection and work. X handles
all connections for classic. If they are active try disabling them from the
startup and try again.

The separate volumes isn't an issue, I've run my G4 with both OS's on
separate and the same volume successfully.
